Curzon Collection: 16 mm Fumeo X900


FUMEO X900 Model 9321 16mm Double Band PROJECTOR

A relatively modern projector for the Collection it dates back to the 1980's. and this type of projector would have found use in Art Houses and film schools and other production centres as well as in collegiate establishments.

It is a normal 16mm projector with 'double-head' facilities which enables a separate magnetic sound track to be employed with film. Especially applicable to the use of Super 16mm film where the full width could be used for the picture area -the sound track being on magnetic coated film. After synchronisation on threading both picture and sound track the projector reproduced both without further adjustment. It is still operable and is a fine specimen of a product from the famous Italian manufacturer.

It is intended that this projector will be restored to full working order and used in the Curzon cinema and we are looking for someone, who was/is perhaps a Fumeo engineer or who has intimate knowledge of these projectors, to assist us with the electrical side of the projector which has been severely damaged. Anyone who can help please contact the Curzon Collection.
